"The current behavior of magnetic north is something that we have never observed before." For decades, scientists have been tracking the shift in Earth's magnetic north pole away from Canada and ...

Earth’s magnetic north is not static. Like an anchorless buoy pushed by ocean waves, the magnetic field is constantly on the move as liquid iron sloshes around in the planet’s outer core.

Scientists tracking Earth's magnetic pole have recently spotted it heading toward Siberia. Where it will end up, no one knows.

The magnetic North Pole is the direction that a compass needle points, and it is not a fixed location; it changes due to magnetic activity beneath the Earth's crust.

Earth’s north magnetic pole has been drifting so fast in the last few decades that scientists say that past estimates are no longer accurate enough for precise navigation. On Monday, they rel ...

Earth's northern magnetic pole is moving at an unexpectedly fast rate toward Siberia. Scientists discovered the pole was not where it should be in September last year, and, as a result, had to ...

In general Earth’s magnetic field is getting weaker, leading scientists to say that it will eventually flip, where north and south pole changes polarity, like a bar magnet flipping over.

In general Earth’s magnetic field is getting weaker, leading scientists to say that it will eventually flip, where north and south pole changes polarity, like a bar magnet flipping over.

Since the magnetic north pole was first measured in 1831 it has moved about 1,400 miles toward Siberia.

The magnetic north pole, where compass needles point, is about 1,200 miles south and is where geomagnetic field lines are vertical. Earth’s magnetic north is not static.

Your navigation system just got a critical update, one that happens periodically because Earth’s magnetic north pole keeps moving. Here’s what to know.
